Stephen Colbert says Kanye West should change name to 'Kellyanne Kanye'

WATCH: Stephen Colbert says “Kanye has lost his mind” over Trump tweets.

On Wednesday night’s episode of The Late Show, Stephen Colbert turned his attention to Kanye West’s recent posts on Twitter, in which he proclaimed his support for the U.S. president, calling Donald Trump “my brother” and he showed off his signed “Make America Great Again” hat.

“ tweeted, ‘My MAGA hat is signed’ followed with 30 fire emojis,” Colbert said. “Now, that is fitting, because that is how many times I’d set that hat on fire.”

“I think Kanye is lobbying for a job as Trump’s new communications director. He can just change his name to ‘Kellyanne Kanye,’” Colbert said on The Late Show.

Colbert said that the “height of Kanye’s Trump praise has got to be when he tweeted, ‘You don’t have to agree with Trump but the mob can’t make me not love him. We are both dragon energy. He is my brother. I love everyone. I don’t agree with everything anyone does. That’s what makes us individuals. And we have the right to independent thought.'”

You don't have to agree with trump but the mob can't make me not love him. We are both dragon energy. He is my brother. I love everyone. I don't agree with everything anyone does. That's what makes us individuals. And we have the right to independent thought.

The host noted that the story took a “stupider” turn when “Trump actually responded to Kanye – I assume because an alarm went off in the White House that someone on Twitter was being even crazier than him.”
